Demo Vid-New Projects and Changing Slug

Twelve Jan 24, 2025

Hello Friends,

I just started to use the multi-project tool in the pages kit. It is looking really cool. I'm sure there is a lot more to it than I show in this video, however I wanted to point out to anybody who was just starting out how I've used the slug tool. This slug tool lets us customize the way our pages our displayed when live on the internet. VERY COOL!!!! We have already started to adopt this into our Bass Money page by building a profiles project. Thank you team for this update!

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a way that's easy to read and remember. In ArcBlock's Pages Kit, when you create a new project, the slug initially defaults to a random set of numbers. Here's how to change it:

Steps to Change the Slug in ArcBlock Pages Kit:

Start a New Project:

When you create a new project, the platform automatically assigns a placeholder slug (usually a string of random numbers).

Navigate to the Project Settings:

In the project card area choose Edit.

Find the Slug Field:

In the settings, you’ll see a field labeled Slug. This is where you can edit the default slug.

Customize the Slug:

Replace the default numbers with a meaningful and memorable name. For example, instead of 123456, you might use my-beat-project.

Save the Changes:

Once you’ve updated the slug, click Save to ensure your changes are reflected.

Publish or Preview:

After changing the slug, you’ll notice the URL of your page changes accordingly when you publish or preview your project. For example:
- Default URL: https://yourdomain.io/pages-kit/123456/new
- Updated URL: https://yourdomain.io/pages-kit/my-beat-project/new
